BIOS Setup security functions
The Security menu in BIOS Setup offers you various options for protecting your personal data against
unauthorized access, e.g.:
• Preventing unauthorized BIOS Setup entry
• Preventing unauthorized system access
• Preventing unauthorized access to the settings of boards with their own BIOS
• Preventing system booting from the diskette drive
• Activating virus warnings
• Preventing unauthorized writing of diskettes
• Protecting BIOS from overwriting
• Protecting the PC from being switched on by an external device
You can also combine these functions.
You will find a detailed description of the Security menus and how to assign passwords in the
Technical Manual for the system board or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
Access protection with SICRYPT PC Lock
With SICRYPT PC Lock you protect your system from unauthorized booting. Then a system can
only be booted when the user inserts a valid SmartCard in the SmartCard reader and enters his/her
personal code number (PIN). To use PC Lock you require the following components:
• External or internal SmartCard reader
• PC Lock installed (see manual "BIOS Setup")
• SICRYPT SmartCard
There are two different SmartCards - the Admin SmartCard and the User SmartCard.
i
PC Lock controls access to your PC. When a SmartCard is initialized, rights are assigned for
system access (system, setup, system+setup, admin). You can configure several SmartCards for
one system and initialize them with different rights.
In this way users can be divided into user groups. Users of a user group use SmartCards with the
same rights.
Additional instructions for PC Lock
i
These differ in their memory capacity. In addition to the access rights, you can also save
other safety options on the Admin SmartCard (e.g. fingerprints with the Smarty 2 software).
Do not use PC Lock on systems controlled by tele-maintenance. If a SmartCard is
inserted and the User PIN must be entered, an automatic system boot is blocked. For
example, this is the case with "Wake On LAN", or when software is to be installed via
the network that requires a system reboot.
After you have initialized the first SmartCard, the entry PC-Lock can no longer be
deactivated (Disabled)intheBIOS Setup.

or drives).
Memory and processor upgrading are described in the system board Technical Manual.
Read the supplied documentation before installing new drives and/or boards.
Refer to the system board Technical Manual before making any extensions to the system board.
Information about boards
Take care with the locking mechanisms (catches and centring pins) when you are replacing the
system board or components on the system board.
To prevent damage to the system board or the components and conductors on it, please take care
when you insert or remove boards. Make sure expansion boards are inserted straight.

When installing components with a high power loss, make sure that the maximum
permissible temperatures of the individual components are not exceeded.
The device must be switched off when installing/removing the system expansions and
may not be in the Suspend mode.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the
label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all
circumstances, observe the following points:
• You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded
object) before working.
• The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
• Remove the power plug from the power supply before inserting o
removing boards containing ESDs.
• Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
